LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian at the Friend Movement Campaign: cute or tragic?

Here are some new photos of LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian walking the red carpet for the “Friend Movement Campaign Benefit Concert” at El Rey Theater in LA yesterday. I’m also including some photos of their exit, in which LeAnn looked kind of toasty. I guess LeAnn performed at the event…? Sure. I’m not including any photos of any of the other guests at the event because I didn’t recognize any of the other names. This was not an A-list shindig. Which is fine, because I think this is some kind of “anti-bullying” charity thing.

The Mail is going on and on about how LeAnn has a “fuller figure” nowadays. She does seem to have gained some much-needed weight, and her legs and arms aren’t scaring me anymore, so that’s a good thing. I can’t tell if LeAnn got her bolt-ons fixed (they were super-wonky before) or if her weight gain just changed the look of her implants. You know? I don’t know. I’m sure these photos will inspire some people to claim that she could be pregnant. At this point, I kind of think that’s her only option for staying in the news, right?

As I always do, I checked in with LeAnn’s Twitter to see if she had started any fights in the past few days, but honestly, there’s nothing too obnoxious there. She wished Eddie’s mom a happy birthday. She tweeted a photo of some beers. She’s been retweeting some inspirational stuff, and she said she did her fitting for Anger Management and “Loving my character’s getup! Charlie is a doll. Looking forward to tmrw”. That’s about it.

    She looks really hot in that pic with the sweaty upper lip.

  2. Toot says:

    She looks good to me. Glad she’s not acting crazy on Twitter.

  3. Jayna says:

    I would say cute together last night, not tragic. Except the shoes, uh, no. I am glad to see her back at that hair color. It suits her better. She always had the shiniest hair, and since Eddie not so much. It looks good here. Regarding her weight, she looks fine. She actually looked thinner in her bikini shot the other day than she does in clothes. But I find it interesting she was thinner than this in 2008 before she even met Eddie in the beginning of 2009. I think LeAnn goes up and down by about six pounds over the years (except for her spiral into practically anorexia and eatiing disorder she denies).

    Am I just used to it, or does it look like her fillers in her cheeks are coming down? God, I hope so. They look happy out. People might as well give up. They will be married for a long time (for many reasons), and no amount of bashing how he didn’t hold her hand in one photo as proof of something LOL (even though he has his arms around her in another) is going to change that fact. They will end when they end (probably ten years). But I don’t think they are unhappy right now at all.

    I wish Brandi would find a good guy instead of the losers she seems to gravitate towards, the hottest obvious guy in the room as she says. Those guys in Hollywood are after the 20 somethings. Find an intelligent guy who’s attractive and actually adores you, wants a relationshp, no games.

    When she smiles in that last photo, I still can’t get over how she messed up her teeth and smile. I still swear even the second set of dental work (the bigger veneers) she had a prettier smile than now.

    • SouthernGal says:

      Actually they should stay together. He needs the financial support and she thrives on the attention. I would say it is a recipe for a happy marriage. Just amazing how he went from being serial cheater to an attentive husband in 4 yrs. I guess people can change *Kanye shrug* (insert the sarcasm).

      • heidi says:

        Totes agree…for the boys stability and I think Eddie is happy and possibly settling down(tho a slip up here& there should be expected considering his past.) His parents/her parents/a home with music, traveling, good food, opportunities, etc. is a healthy environment for the two boys.

    • a says:

      I agree with your comments about LeAnn and Eddie, who knows if they will be married forever but for now they seem happy together.

      I also agree with you about LeAnn’s weight, she became bathing suit and short shorts skinny when she was still with Dean but other than the time when she was scary skinny, her weight tends fluctuates by a few pounds.

  4. MonicaQ says:

    The first picture, sweet chocolate covered snoopy, both my husband and I recoiled. HER FACE. WHAT IS WITH HER FACE. Is that a bad picture. It’s just…all sorts of no. She looks like she climbed out of the well and stood too close to a candle. The rest of them she looks normal. For her that is.

    Eddie just looks like he smells of self desperation and douche-tude.

  5. marie says:

    she looks better with a little more weight on her.

  6. Evelyn says:

    They really look like they’re related, it creeps me out

  7. Sannie says:

    When is the ‘Smiley’ thing happening?

    I don’t like Leann at all, but must admit that she looks better here.

  8. Poink517 says:

    She sure loves the fugly shoes, doesn’t she?

    • Chicagogurl says:

      Yes and her hair looks so much better up off her face. She still looks like a muppet to me tho.

      • Apsutter says:

        I actually don’t “get” why she always wears her hair up in sloppy ass buns. She really doesn’t have the facial beauty to pull it off.

  9. Jessiebes says:

    Is his shirt see through?

  10. Katrina says:

    Hell hath frozen over! These two look like a normal happy couple. She looks great. He looks like he really is happy to be around her. Head for your bunkers. Repent your sins now. The end days are nigh!

    • Debra says:

      He just looks happy because he knows as soon as they get inside, he can have all the skyy vodka he wants… that’s why they look toasted on the way out

    • Jacqueline says:

      Except for the third to last photo, where he honestly looks like he’s on the cusp of escaping! Lol

  11. TheOriginalKitten says:

    She looks a MILLION times better with a little more weight on her.

    They look like I’ve looked for the past week of 95 degree temps and 70 degree dewpoint. I have a permanent sheen on my face and it’s disgusting on so many levels.

  12. DanaG says:

    I think she looks way better with some weight on as a couple ugh. Sorry he is just so slimey looking I just feel like I need a shower whenever I see them together. Having a baby is probably the only thing that will get her some positive attention. Her album sure won’t. LOL

    • OK says:

      I agree, Eddie makes my skin crawl. There is nothing sexy about him.

    • Hakura says:

      I agree…& I always feel like it’s such a shame. If we were to go by ‘features’ alone, Eddie could be quite reasonably ‘handsome’. It’s just everything we know about him aside from his physical appearance that makes him totally abhorrent.

  13. MrsB says:

    For her, she looks pretty good in the pictures where her hair is down. Her figure is definitely looking better, but I see no improvement in her bolt-ons? They still look wonky as ever to me.

    • UsedToBeLulu says:

      I’m just curious…what is it about them that makes them look wonky? I’m not seeing it…

      • MrsB says:

        To me, they look SO far apart. I mean, they are not even close to touching each other at all. Totally unnatural imo.

      • Heylee says:

        I don’t think they look wonky, but when they do seem to sit rather far apart… maybe she is just not wearing a bra and relying on the fitted dress? When I wear a bra, my girls are def closer together than that!

        But, really, she looks pretty here. I just want them to go away and be happy together, lets all admit that these two together, well, they deserve each other.

      • Hakura says:

        @MrsB – This is *not* an argument as to your observations on Leann (as we all know she had surgery). But unfortunately, it *is* possible (for breasts) to be that ‘wide-set’ (‘far apart’) naturally (without ever having had surgery).

        (Believe me, I wish that wasn’t so. It’s a complete pain in the ass to have to ‘adjust’ yourself because you’re just naturally set so wide apart.)

      • Myriam says:

        I know you didn’t direct the question to me, but I’d like to give my opinion. If you look at the first picture, her left breast is facing outward while her right breast is facing forward. If you notice, her body is facing Eddie, but her left breast/nipple is facing out, towards the camera. In other pics, her right breast is facing the normal angle, forward. They’re just not aligned correctly. It’s weird.

    • Cris says:

      You can’t see it so much in these pics, but the right one always looks like it is trying to make a run for it. They are not even at all.

  14. alidorival says:

    Seems to have dial down the cray cray a bit. But that could also be the quiet before a shitstorm, which is usual in her case. Hope she would have dropped that lawsuit though, sigh.

  15. Scarlettmoon says:

    What Jayna says, I agree. I think Leann and Eddie are happy together. I’m also glad to see she’s gained a few much needed pounds, it looks great on her.

  16. Dawn says:

    They both look just fine here.

  17. DD says:

    She looks better with some weight but anymore she be looking butch. I don’t get what is going with her face! She was thousand times better looking when with Deane. EDiot seems to love the spotlight and fame and his cash cow. He has it made.

    • Justpassingby says:

      Agreed! She was much better looking with Dean Sheremet. Eddie Cibrian made her so insecure and out of control that you can see the pain on her face.

    • Joy says:

      Now that people are noticing she’s put some weight on, I predict she’ll suddenly get on some big workout kick.

  18. Birdie says:

    She looks so much better with extra weight!

  19. Arock says:

    Um, I’m sorry- she was attending an anti bullying event? Why don’t they have chris brown headline next year. Smh.
    Honestly she could sprout a unicorn horn and sprinkle fairy dust all day and I would still think she looked best when she wore crazy on her sleeve for all the world to see. Dental floss for swim wear, drunk eyes, and some wonky boobies are made for hilarity. I’m going to miss 2012, especially when she blows up like Christie ally…..Although…..

    • Stacey says:

      Spot on!

      She’s at an anti-bullying fundraiser… oh the irony smh

    • brin says:

      “Friends Movement” is shady and having LR as an anti-bullying spokesperson is a joke.

      • briargal says:

        It sure it! What’s next-having Bill Clinton talk at a Support Fidelity in Marriage group! LOL!

    • drdoolittling says:

      Lol. I didn’t read your comment and just posted the irony in this down thread

  20. pinkerton says:

    as much i dislike her, is it really a good idea for the dailymail to comment on the figure of someone who is known to have an eating disorder. I think sensitivity to those kinds of issues would be nice.

  21. Hubbahun says:

    She does look better, definitely. She’s on the “F*ck it, he’s gonna cheat, imma gonna eat” diet, no doubt 😛

  22. drdoolittling says:

    Leann Rimes was at an anti-bullying event??????????? While suing a special ed teacher and torturing her hubby’s ex? Seriously? Who was in charge of getting “celebrities” for this shindig because they REALLY missed the boat here.

  23. Sullivan says:

    They look like a cute couple. Not drop-dead gorgeous, but how many couples are?

  24. claire says:

    What’s tragic are these faux campaigns that fame chasers are creating that exploit real problems just so they can rub shoulders with “celebs” and maybe get another acting job or two.

  25. truthful says:

    while this is an improvement for sure, look how she is always clawing at Eddie,
    smdh.

    that pic says alot.

  26. Mela says:

    This friend movement thing is ran by a bunch of famewhores. The main guy used to be on a Bravo reality show, “Make Me a Super Model”. They are just trying to capitalize on the latest buzzword, “bullying.”
    It’s just some wanna be reality star Ronnie Kroell trying to have people pay for him to hang out with famous people and climb the celebrity ladder. His website is asking for like $100,000 and NONE of it is said to be going to bully victims, teen suicide hotlines, lgbt outreach programs, NADA. It’s actually an “art” charity. All money funds Ronnie Kroell and his “coproducers” flying all around the world to rub elbows with famous people and to take pictures of dlisters and for them to be famous. Opportunists

    • SouthernGal says:

      ^^^^^ THIS^^^^^

      • Mela says:

        Also, IMO, this Ronnie Kroell guy should put his money where his mouth is and fund this so-called “anti-bully” campaign himself if its so near and dear to his heart instead of asking for people to give him money to make “art”.

        His website says, “Friend Movement relies on donations ….It will give us the ability to produce quality work we can use as a platform to ensure that our communities are safe to be who we are; safe from painful words and actions. Your support and generosity sends a message to the global community that the Arts are alive and well…”

        So really, this is an ART charity. If you call taking pictures of dlisters like Leann Rimes and Rumer Willis flipping the bird and photoshopping a few words on the image as “art”. In my opinion, they really misrepresent the mission of the charity.

    • Rita says:

      Sounds like LeAnn and Eddie will fit right in.

    • Karma says:

      But he’s “saving lives” with LeAnn! And don’t “hate” on them, their souls are in the right place so he can fleece people and pay for his cross country trip. /s

      I agree, it’s a complete scam!

      Haven’t been watching LeAnn’s twitter as much as I was in the past couple of months due to toxic overload.

      But one thing I did notice was for that Father’s Day/Ed’s B-day/family pic. Like we all knew at the time, that thing was clearly planned for maximum impact with Brandi.

      But LeAnn went the extra mile by posting Brandi’s kids…with MATCHING SHIRTS! Like it was an Easter outing to go get family pics at Sears.

      So clearly, LeAnn went and bought those boys matching shirts for the express purpose of posting it online. Which means her dress and probably even Eddie’s shirt was bought with the same desire.

      Brandi has never dressed those boys in matching shirts.

      LeAnn, still creepy cruel, every chance she gets.

  27. belladonna says:

    She looks fine but much older than her 30 years — like she’s in her early 40s.

  28. YuYa says:

    I cannot stand this woman and her homewrecking ways, but I will admit, she looks so much better with some weight on. Her face needs to have the extra fat and she is now approaching pretty territory. That said, she is still a horrible narcisstic human being.

  29. kim says:

    I pity them. That’s all.

  30. Rita says:

    LeAnn continues to BULLY a special needs teacher and mother of 6 with 4 special needs children in a lawsuit, so what does that tell you about the Friend Movement as a charity? It should tell everyone that it is no more than a S.C.A.M (Scoundrels Chasing Anybody’s Money)!!!

    btw- LeAnn looks really toasted, bitter, and old…..but she must be wearing a good bra to coral her ADHD “girls”.

  31. Kiddo says:

    They look nice. I’ll leave it at that.

  32. serenityzhere says:

    It’s so ironic to me that she was the instigator in bullying Brandi during the beginning of Eddie and Brandi’s separation and now she is singing at a charity for anti bullying. There is history of it on twitter. She divulged private info about Brandi so that her friends and 2 fans could bully her and they did so with a vengeance. She is still the same passive agressive person regardless of how she smiles or what her weight is. And he just disgusts me with his arrogance and ignorance.

  33. betty says:

    There a dozens of pictures of Leann and Eddie smiling , holding hands and Leann clinging to Eddie this one is no different. If you need pictures to show how happy you are , you don’t have it. Brandi will find her a MAN in time. It’s too many man boys like Eddie around and not enough MEN. Age has nothing to do with relationships some younger men or more mature than the older ones and know what they want.

    • Christin says:

      Anytime someone gets run over in a relationship, I hope they find a more stable, mature partner. Brandi doesn’t need another wandering you-know-what. The highs and lows are not worth it, and I think the quick aging that has happened to these two is quite telling. It seems try-hard and not genuine, in my opinion.

  34. Jennifer12 says:

    I think Leann looks better with extra weight and I dislike comments about her personal appearance just because I think they take away from the real issue of her bullying and inappropriate behavior. Wonder what she’ll say about her Friend Movement being outed as nothing more than people wanting to fly around the world and get close to Dlisters. The guy who runs the movement was enjoying engaging people who protested Leann’s involvement a little too much and now we know why.

  35. Christina22 says:

    The issue is not how good they look, anyone can smile and pose for the camera, or try and portray a certain image on twitter and celebrity D-lister events. Leann lives to put this image out there. The real issue however is the fact that she is suing a special needs teacher and mother of 6, and continuing to pap out Brandi’s kids and talk as if they are her own. No matter how “good” she looks, she is still an ugly person on the inside and there is nothing about her relationship with Eddie that shows it will stand the tests of time.

    • sonia says:

      ^^ THIS EXACTLY You can have a great voice but when it accompanies a black awful cruel soul, the soul wins.

  36. MissNostalgia says:

    These two are beyond tiresome. I don’t envy people like this as it must be very hard work trying to keep themselves current and relevant.

  37. Kyliepo says:

    I’m gonna guess that the weight gain is because she is off adderall b/c they are trying to get pregnant…just a thought

    P.S. Just broke my gossip site cherry; I’ve never commented before b/c I just enjoy giggling at other people’s comments

    • Karma says:

      Congrats on your first time! 😉

      And clearly you chose the best gossip site of them all.

      I agree, that she may be trying to clean up for a pregnancy try. And as Kaiser and others have stated, at this point, it really is her best/only chance at positive press. Even Brandi hopes she would get pregnant…..lol

  38. Leslie says:

    Her face looks really good in the second picture. Her body looks healthy. Actually she looks decent in most of the pictures, but something about her open mouthed smile (straight frozen upper lip and squinty eyes) reminds me of an 80 yr old lady I know. But the mystery to me is why major bully LeAnn is at an “Anti Bullying” event. Doesn’t make sense.

  39. amilu says:

    I have to pop in and say one thing about Eddie Cibrian.

    I watched ‘But I’m a Cheerleader’ last week, and I have to admit that he was pretty freaking funny as the son of Cathy Moriarty, the headmistress of a “pray the gay away” kind of camp.

    gif might be NSFW — http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqs34nsVbY1r0m39uo1_500.gif

    I’d kind of forgotten that once upon a time, he showed promise as an actor…

  40. Apsutter says:

    Why must she insist on wearing ugly ass peep toe booties all the time? It’s summer time in sunny Cali…she should be wearing pretty sandals and heels. Not to mention they don’t even remotely match her dress.

  41. Emily C. says:

    She looks good and I like her dress. Hate her shoes, though. Maybe she found a good therapist?

  42. Joney Says says:

    LeAnn looks really good and healthy in these pictures.They seem happy together. Her dress is super cute.

  43. Chell says:

    Her personality & actions make her an extremely unattractive person. If she dropped this ignorant lawsuit & would quit running her mouth about being a ‘bonus mom’ & would quit talking about the affair, I think people would gain a bit of respect for her. She is her own worst enemy!

    • Jane says:

      I think it is a point of no return with her. She has no hope at all of getting any respect from people.

  44. Quinn says:

    Yech. These two will forever be gross to me…their insides are rotten to the core.

  45. AuntSassy says:

    Don’t you mean the We have No Friends Movement.

  46. Skylar says:

    Leann is going to be a heafer as she gets older….like Belinda.

  47. Jennifer says:

    Leann is the biggest bully and manipulator.

    Who in their right mind calls someone and then sues the person they called because they don’t like how they are portrayed in the recording (when it was Leann herself showing her true colors)? Just another example of many of what a dishonest, despicable person Leann Rimes is.

    Her ugly insides only make her outward appearance that much more unattractive.

  48. lisa says:

    is LA full of random d list events all day every day?

    • Jane says:

      Certainly…and those are the only events Leann and Eddie go to because they wouldn’t be invited elsewhere. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if Leann had to buy her way into these events. I certainly wouldn’t want her at an event I was attending, though.

  49. Joanna says:

    they both look really good. she looks so much better with more weight. Her face looks pretty too.

  50. Marcus says:

    This girl is something else. She shows up at an anti-bullying fundraiser knowing full well she has bullied not only Bradni but a mother of 6 who is a special education teacher. Leanne dear just go away. Oh and honey when you moisturize you have to rub it in thats why your so shiny.

  51. DrM says:

    The Daily Mail has some really clutchy photos of LR and EC. She is constantly clutching him…grabbing him from behind, hanging off his arm, his hand whatever. It just looks like desperation….

  52. Cam S says:

    “Washed up country singer” quote from Brandi’s book. – that about sums it up

  53. jojo says:

    I think the timer has already started for when Cibrian cheats on Leann. Once a cheater, always a cheater; it’s just a matter of time; and couldn’t happen to a nicer person

  54. RdyfrmycloseupmrDvlle says:

    Dear Leann,

    Ne Ne Leeks has a message for you:
    “Close ya legs to married men!!”

  55. bid says:

    LeAnn Rimes Cibrian ‏@leannrimes
    Happy Monday, Happy July 1st and HAPPY B-DAY to Eddie’s wonderful mom Hortensia!!!

    Question – Why doesn’t she call her mother in law her bonus mum? Or call her Eddie’s bio mom? That is her shtick with someone else’s kids so why not with someone else’s parent?

  56. Ming says:

    tragic. definitely tragic.

    this face says it all. http://thisseasonslove.net/gallery/displayimage.php?pid=12173&fullsize=1

  57. Vesper says:

    I am still of the view that LeAnn looked better when she was thinner. I’m assuming the sudden weight gain is due to the fact that she is likely on antidepressants to help her deal with depression and/or anxiety. Those types of meds tend to change the metabolism until the body has a chance to adjust. Even with the weight gain it is obvious she still works out and she has muscle, but she “wore” clothing better before.

    I am glad she is growing out her bangs as she looked far too young with them.

    • briargal says:

      OR maybe the weight gain is because she is off the laxatives. She wasn’t getting the nutrition she needed as she was just flushing everything away. And as far as antidepressants, if she is on them she should not be drinking alcohol. Bad combo!

  58. Mrs Odie 2 says:

    I don’t care for the dress. I like her thinner.

  59. Mrs Odie 2 says:

    I just Googled the Kim Smiley thing. I can’t believe Leann is suing this woman! She basically just revealed the real Leann to the world. It’s LR’s actions and decisions that have made her hated by the public, not Kim Smiley’s. Take it like a woman, Leann. Stop scapegoating this mother of 6 and special education teacher!
